Análise e avaliação de patologias em construções públicas do campus Santa Mônica da Universidade Federal de Uberlândia

Abstract

This study conducts a detailed analysis of the pathological issues found in public buildings at the Santa Monica Campus of the Federal University of Uberlandia, focusing on blocks 1X, 5RA, 5RB, 5OA, and 5OB. Pathological manifestations such as infiltrations caused by failures in waterproofing systems, cracks and fissures resulting from structural movements and improper material usage, efflorescence and cryptoflorescence associated with moisture presence, and detachment of coatings due to adhesion failures and insufficient maintenance were identified. The methodology involved detailed visual inspections, photographic records of the manifestations, investigation of possible causes, and proposition of technical solutions for mitigation and repair of anomalies. The analyses revealed factors such as deteriorated waterproofing systems, absence of preventive maintenance programs, and construction defects that accelerate the degradation of structural elements. Based on the diagnoses, solutions such as the application of rigid and flexible waterproofing systems, localized repairs on cracks and fissures, and the implementation of a continuous maintenance plan were suggested to prevent the recurrence of issues. The study highlights the importance of a systemic approach in identifying and correcting anomalies, considering technical, regulatory, and economic aspects. The results reinforce the significance of preventive and corrective practices to extend the service life of buildings, ensure user safety, and preserve the institution's assets.
